That's what I thought Mark. I sure hope so. I never saw the pistons go in but I looked them up at http://www.cppistons.com/Catalog.htm and it could well be. There are several pistons that meet the spec and look just like that.
Here's what I have.
Scat 4.00” Stroker Crank
Crower 6.00” Steel Connecting Rods
CP Pistons – Forged Flat Top 4.030” Bore
Speed-Pro Moly Ring Set #R9343-35
But going through 1/2 quart of oil (or more) per hour on the highway sounds pretty excessive. Can that much be forced out the exhaust valve without being burned?
If it was burning I would see it. I see black smoke for a second when I put the hammer down but never blue smoke.
